Nursery World - Enabling Environments Tried and Tested

Mirrors provide such fascination and so many learning opportunities for children that they could become part of a setting's basic provision. Nicole Weinstein samples a few.

Mirrors are an exciting and magical exploratory resource for nursery and Foundation Stage children. They reflect the most interesting thing in their lives - themselves, in a way that is familiar and yet different. Mirrors with convex and concave surfaces, as well as unevenly textured ones, offer other dimensions for the exploration of how light, shadow, time and space affect the way in which we see the world.
